Krispy Kreme Donuts unveils glaze-flavored drink July 21, 2004
Every time I go to Krispy Kreme I look at the donut conveyor line and joke that I could just put my head under the glaze "waterfall" and hapilly let it flood into my mouth. Apparently, someone there was listening, according to this article.
Once the fried dough embodiment of hot and fresh, Krispy Kreme has transformed its original glazed doughnut into a new frozen beverage for summer.A medium (16 oz.) "Original Kreme" will have 660 calories. Unfortunately CNN has jumped on the "carbs are the new fat" bandwagon and doesn't report how much fat is in one of these, but I'm guessing it's a lot.
The chain introduced a new line of frozen drinks Wednesday, including frozen original kreme -- a drinkable version of the company's signature doughnut -- raspberry, latte and double chocolate.
I am both disgusted and enticed at the same time. How can that be?

Talk about mainlining sugar! This sounds disgusting to me.

So I was at Krispy Kreme yesterday and came close to ordering one of these things. In the end, though, it just sounded ...gross. Dunno. So I had a couple donuts instead. Which is probably just as bad. But not gross. Good. Not gross.
